The City of Panama City Beach is now accepting applications for the 2026 Citizens’ Academy program. Citizens’ Academy is a nine-week educational program designed to give residents an inside look at City government operations. The academy aims to engage citizens by providing in-depth information about their local government, helping them expand their knowledge and potentially prepare for future roles as board members, commissioners, or elected officials.

The program will take place on Wednesday evenings from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. from June 3 through July 29. Participants will gain valuable insight into how decisions are made and be honored with the official title of “City Ambassador”. They will receive a certificate and a PCB Citizens’ Academy shirt upon completion.

Panama City Beach residents ages 18+ may apply online through April 24. Class size is limited to 20 participants on a first-come, first-served basis. For more details on the program and to apply online, please visit: https://www.pcbfl.gov/427/Citizens-Academy
